Newcastle upon Tyne
I'm a disabled veteran living in Newcastle upon Tyne. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the kitchen is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $4,700, which isn't something I can pay. The good news: a local hardware store has donated the tiles and battens. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for a small crew who can help over a weekend. Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks. The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too. If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

    I was going through a tough time and this person's support was invaluable. They didn't judge, just helped. That kind of genuine compassion is rare these days.

    Sending love, Olivia. Your post was clear and honest. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Love from Nairobi
